It wasn’t until July 2010 when fellow guitarist and friend Luke Higgins asked Scott to build him a fuzz pedal, they put their heads together and came up with the idea to make a limited number of copied to sell. Scott and Luke teamed up with electronics engineer Neil Garner to help recreate Scott’s original fuzz pedal. The first task was to measure all the components of Scott’s original fuzz pedal, in particular they took readings of the output of the AC128 Germanium transistors. After many months of sound tests and circuit board changes, to make the new circuit more reliable yet faithful to the original, the SM Fuzz is born.
